this is gold

That being said, WTF is wrong with 850k-900k in PPV buys? Seems like a pretty good number to me for a PPV Event.

You could also say what's wrong with 600k-650k? Since Espinoza can't declare official numbers, it could be as low as 500k.

So Floyd is boring and can't brag about ppvs now. Who will care about him then?

Miguel Cotto and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

LOL, This is incredibly ******.

to little to late

oh, so you don't want to release numbers anymore?
OKay....that's telling. I guess every fight from here on out will do 2.4 million

Floyd only tries to fight those who have a good fan base to get better number's that's why he wanted Pac to fight he has to do the 6 fights but he has to hope that he can get a big name so he can brag he makes all the PPV, wrong Delahoya always topped the PPV circuit and Canelo will do the same as has Manny. They are embarrassed when you have Mayweather talking BS about his big draw. People are not ******, everybody knows what's going on. I don't think Manny or Canelo should fight him again, neither one need to and besides that he should never have given Maidana another fight. He will lose I know Al Hayman thinks him and Showtime have it all bought and paid for but don't bet on it. Change is coming. Right now Maidana is the biggest draw but he will win this time. It was split Kast time I don't think that will happen again. Floyd said he trained 6 months for the first fight. I don't think they can buy him wins all the time. Lara ran just like Floyd has always done but got away with it I don't think the fans are going to take it so well anymore. Who wants to pay to see one man fight and the other one run?I couldn't believe they did it that long.

Mayweather is the one who made fans follow and keep up with PPV Numbers because he did brag about them.

I personally don't give a **** because how the numbers do don't put money in my pocket.

That being said, WTF is wrong with 850k-900k in PPV buys? Seems like a pretty good number to me for a PPV Event

He should tell Mayweather to shut up about PPV Numbers if he wants fans to "NOT FOCUS ON PPV BUYS"

Well Floyd's the one with the 300 million deal getting 32 million a fight.

Why wouldn't they be worried about what he's selling?

[mercenario]

So what's next? Withholding ratings? This guy is a tool, what about all access? Isn't all access about how much money Massager has? But we are obsessed with numbers when is you guys who are rubbing in our faces how much money you guys make and everything non boxing related. Who can tell me what car sugar ray Robinson drove? Or who he was sleeping with? You should hide the ratings that's where you get embarrassed Like when you over paid the Stevenson showcase he had less ratings than with HBO and almost lost the fight.

Espinoza not setting the record straight by releasing the official numbers will just fuel more speculation and false information.

all this means is that Floyd is gonna claim the Maidana rematch did 3mil buys

They are withholding the ppv numbers because the reality is, Mayweather alone is not much of a draw. Unless Mayweather fights someone with a big fanbase his ppv draw is comparable to Pac, Cotto and Canelo. I would not be surprised if this decision to withhold the numbers is at Mayweathers request.
